Citroen C5 Aircross to be unveiled on February 1

The C5 Aircross will be sold in a single trim level and is expected to include features such as an electronic parking brake, dual-zone climate control, powered tailgate, split-LED headlamps with DRLs, a panoramic sunroof, powered driver’s seat, an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

Citroen C5 Aircross: Price and other models

As previously been reported by us, the C5 Aircross will be brought to India as a CKD and assembled locally. Pricesare expected to start from the Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom) mark.

Citroen will sell the C5 Aircross in India through its La Maison Citroën showrooms. The French carmaker plans to introduce 10-15 such outlets in the first phase.

Although the French brand doesn’t expect to sell the C5 Aircross in large numbers, Citroën is betting big on its future made-in-India models from its ‘C-Cubed’ programme, which it expects to be the brand’s volume sellers. Increased levels of localisation could result in a highly competitive price point for the models from the range.

Citroen’s debut offering in India will come with a 2.0-litre diesel engine producing 180hp and will be mated to an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. However, the French carmaker will be giving diesel engines a miss for its subsequent, more affordable models in the mass market segments for India.
